This week on Gadget Lab, WIRED senior editor Angela Watercutter and senior writer Kate Knibbs join us to discuss how streaming has become such a morass, and where it goes from here.
. That actually had risen to the level of appointment TV, where there was people watching it as it aired. And it was this exciting, big thing. And I was excited to experience it communally and watch it live. And then instead I was watching the. And I was so enraged and so confused about how HBO had excelled in getting the right shows, and then totally failed in how to show them to us.: I completely agree. I fall asleep a lot while I'm streaming stuff at night.
I think the promise of streaming many years ago was that like Amazon could come to Sundance and bring $50 million and actually get a lot of independent films that normally would only play at art houses into homes. That's a great idea. But the problem is for any streaming service to have that $50 million, they have to keep people subscribed to like countless reality shows and comedy specials and stuff like that.
Well, hopefully you've all continued to stream this podcast. We're going to take a quick break, and when we come back, we're going to stop our ranting and talk a little bit about the future of video streaming.: If technology is the problem, then maybe it's the solution. OK, so in the first half of the show, we talked about how streaming services are great, but they're kind of a bloated, frustrating mess. And we're hopeful that they might get better in the future.
